    From what I was able to understand, timing is fine.

    What is stated in the book is a good rule of thumb for everyone.  I've noticed my body shows results of BLs ~48 hours later.  Not everyone is that way.  Point:  play around with it.  Two and a half hours is a fine amount of time to backload as long as you got the requisite amount of carbs/food.  Really only need to be concerned about BLs which are too long, not too short.

    One piece of information is missing here.. What time did you go to bed/sleep? If you went to bed at 9:45, you probably wonked yourself outta some growth hormone cuddle-time. But if your backload ended an hour or more before you went to bed, you should be good to go.

    I am doing CNS right now but hope to someday switch the CBL once I take off the fat I want to loose. On some nights I work til midnight and go to the gym after. I would only be able to do a small backload for an hour or so after my workout and would go the bed directly after. Would it work for me that way? Or should I be looking at a different approach.

    There's a whole chapter on late night training in the book and how to do it. Can't remember specifically what it says, pretty sure something along the lines of you backload before your workout then something small after the workout.Give a gander to that chapter.
